Hundreds of fans took to social media on Sunday to say Kupp’s presence would have likely changed the complexion of the Rams’ stagnant offense.

Longtime NFL analyst Rich Eisen also tweeted about Kupp during the game.

“Cooper Kupp can be Goff’s Edelman,” Eisen wrote.

Eisen was referring to Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman, who caught 10 passes for 141 yards and was voted the Super Bowl MVP.

Rams starting outside linebacker Samson Ebukam, another EWU alum, totaled four tackles, but was beaten twice on coverage by tight end Rob Gronkowski on the Patriots’ lone touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.
